Yeah, felinette, henchies are easier, as monks are hard to find.

I was on an UW trap team opening a chest which revealed a nice Gold max Furious Spatha of Warding and next day when i log in it was lost.
At least they gave me the key back ^^

let me put it this way:
(your name here):Hey, Sgt Gold whats up?
(me):cant talk
(me):must click
(and by my estimation i had over 6 mil worth of shards/rubys/sup absorb)

sure, here's my story.

I was with my fourth party trying to complete an infusion run so I could get my newly-fixed bloodstained boots for my MM infused. After some chaotic half-fight half-run tries that led to humiliating demises, I convinced a group that we really needed to fight.

We finally get infused, I'm thinking.....cool! Back to farming. Can't map to War Camp. I get the error message. I think......whatever I'll just log back in. After about ten tries, I actually do get in and then the guild chat is going nuts......sup absorbs/sup vits/shards 250 each! So I try to switch to a character that has some empty inventory slots and gold to burn.......twenty tries later I get in at Amnoon 2, US.

I manage to get 11 shards at 250......that was all. All runes, rare crafting materials, even normal crafting materials and dyes are blocked. Then trading gets blocked as well as mapping. A little later, guild chat gets strangely blocked.

It seems people are either leaving or getting kicked out of Amnoon 2 but I'm still there, reading the forums thinking, if I can stay in game, perhaps I won't get rolled back and I get to keep my meager 11 shards. Eventually there are about 5 people left in Amnoon 2, and I wonder if I could farm while waiting, perhaps fighting to Augury and doing Queen runs. But after leaving town, I spawn back in town (rubber banding they call it). I see there is nothing I can productively do while waiting, so I go out for dinner.

I come back, I'm still on, the first deadline is approaching. But I eventually do get the boot, new deadline 3 hours later is set (but only takes 2), I get in, meager 11 shards go poof.

I didn't miss the 11 shards as much not being able to play for 8 hrs on a Monday, my second day of my weekend.

Oh, I was advising my mates to ID all their golds, as It wouldn't matter anyway cos they'd get rolled back. (that was while we were all still in game after roll back was annouced)

But I was buying 100's of shards/rest of my space with superior vigour runes... along with everyone else.

Diablo™ · Mar 16, 2006, 01:33 AM // 01:33

I was sleeping... before, during, and after the rollback.

Joh · Mar 16, 2006, 01:39 AM // 01:39

Was in UW. Good thing I only got crap (that chest drop I could've lived without so I even got my key back

).

After that I went to LA, bought runes. After reading about the rollback I applied them all to my armor, making it all Superior Vigor. And I stayed there for 4 hours, talking with the nice new friends I made that did the same.

edit/ Ohh, and identified a couple of golds. Turns out, the rollback was a good thing.

You slept through the whole thing? It happened between 10am and 12pm from what I could tell.. didn't get online till 2pm that day, just in time to be told what had happened. (btw, also in Australia)

VitisVinifera · Mar 16, 2006, 01:57 AM // 01:57

Cottage: that is GREAT advice! I wonder if the stats are bound before they are id'ed, or if they are generated at id'ing?

For all those people carrying around un id gold runes.....that could put you at an advantage
